Now, let me get this right. Welfare recipients can not use their EBT cards at liquor stores; but they can at marijuana dispensaries in those states that have legalized pot. Yes, that is correct. Congress in 2011 had passed laws that allowed the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to prohibit EBT benefits from being spent at vice institutions, such as liquor stores, strip clubs and casinos. However, HHS did not interpret that authority to include marijuana shops. No, I am not kidding, but I surely wish that I was kidding. Call your Representative and Senators and tell them to cut this crap out immediately.
